EVENT Control Statement

CA Service Desk Configuration › CAISDI/elmds Backout Procedure › How to Implement Standalone CAISDI/med › Run Standalone CAISDI/med › CAISDI/med Control Statements › Defining Product-Specific Abend Event Recording › EVENT Control Statement

The EVENT statement is used to define CAISDI/med abend events for defined CA Technologies products that are recorded as a CA Service Desk ticket.

Use this syntax for the EVENT statement:

EVENT ABEND
      COMPONENT=name,
      EXCLUDE=((abend_code[,reason_code])[,(abend_code[,reason_code])]...[,(abend_code[,reason_code])])
      JOBNAME=name
      PRODUCT=name

ABEND: This required positional parameter specifies that an event type of abend is being defined for a given CA Technologies product.
COMPONENT: This required parameter is a one- to 28-character name mask that is matched against an intercepted abend event to determine whether to capture and report the abend. Specifically, the component name mask is compared to the concatenation of the SDWACID and SDWASC fields in the CAISDI/med software LOGREC intercept. The mask value can contain any alpha, numeric, or national character. Wild card support is provided. A percent sign (%) can be used to match any single character, while an asterisk (*) can be used to match all trailing characters inclusive of the asterisk.
EXCLUDE

This optional parameter indicates a list of specific abend codes that the CAISDI/med abend event intercept ignores. Each list element is comprised of a positional abend code followed by an optional positional abend reason code.

The positional abend code can be specified as a hexadecimal value for a system abend code such as X'222' or it can be specified as a decimal value for a user abend code such as 1222. The optional positional abend reason code can be specified as a decimal value, such as 12, or as a hexadecimal value, such as X'C'. From one to 16 positional abend code / reason code combinations can be specified.

JOBNAME: This optional parameter specifies a one- to eight-character job name mask that must be associated with the abend event for a match condition to occur. This parameter is useful if a given instance of a CA Technologies product executes in multiple address spaces in the same z/OS image. The mask value can contain any alpha, numeric, or national character. Wild card support is provided. A percent sign (%) can be used to match any single character, while an asterisk (*) can be used to match all trailing characters inclusive of the asterisk.
PRODUCT

This required parameter refers to a defined PRODUCT statement that is used to associate any captured CA Technologies product abend with the appropriate CA Service Desk ticket attributes.

The following is an example of the EVENT control statement:

EVENT ABEND,
      COMPONENT='IDMS*',
      PRODUCT=CA-IDMS
